Understanding the full continuum of care in addiction treatment
What does “full continuum of care” mean?
A full continuum of care in rehab is a complete range of treatment options that guide you through every stage of the recovery journey. It typically begins with medical detox and can include inpatient treatment, partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), and ongoing aftercare and alumni support.
Each stage is personalized to your unique needs, ensuring you get the right support at the right time.
At Beach House Center for Recovery, you never have to feel lost or alone.
Why continuum of care matters for lasting recovery
Everyone’s recovery journey is unique, and a one-size-fits-all treatment approach won’t work. People heal at different rates and face unique challenges.
By providing a full continuum of care in addiction treatment, the licensed clinicians at Beach House Center for Recovery ensure you receive continuous support, which reduces the chances of relapse and setbacks.
This approach also supports better health outcomes and long-term success.
Levels of care: from detox to outpatient
At Beach House Center for Recovery, our licensed clinicians can help you determine the level of care that is right for you.
Medical detox: the first step toward healing
Detox is often the first and most crucial step in recovery. In our medical detox program, our patients are supported through withdrawal safely and with compassion. Our goal is to help you feel as comfortable as possible, cared for, and understood, so that you can focus solely on your healing.
A study in the Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment found that individuals who completed detox and entered an appropriate treatment program had better recovery outcomes and reduce their risk of relapse.
Residential/inpatient treatment: intensive support in a campus-based environment
Our inpatient treatment program offers structured care in a safe environment. At Beach House Center for Recovery, our patients have access to therapy, holistic wellness programs, and supportive care services to help them establish a foundation for sober and healthy living.
Partial hospitalization program (PHP): structured day treatment
Our partial hospitalization program is a flexible alternative to inpatient treatment. It provides structured, daily treatment while allowing individuals to return home in the evenings. It’s a step toward independence and offers the guidance and support you need as you reintegrate into daily life.
Partial hospitalization is best for those with severe mental health or substance use disorders, but stable enough to continue living at home. Typically, this includes individuals who need daily intensive and structured care but do not require 24-hour supervision.
Intensive outpatient program (IOP): flexible, ongoing care
Our intensive outpatient program offers even more flexibility compared to our inpatient and PHP programs, helping those who must balance recovery with everyday responsibilities. In this program, you will attend regular therapy sessions, build coping skills, and strengthen your support network while maintaining your daily responsibilities.
This program is best for those struggling with moderate to severe mental health or substance use disorders who need structured, intensive therapy but can still manage work and/or school responsibilities.
Typically, this level of care is best for those transitioning from a higher level of care, like an inpatient program, but who need ongoing structured, yet flexible support to continue their healing process.
Outpatient services: sustaining recovery in everyday life
Outpatient care at Beach House Center for Recovery helps you maintain progress and stay accountable as you navigate life beyond higher levels of care in addiction treatment. This program includes therapy sessions and group sessions that reinforce coping strategies, encouraging you to continue living a healthier, sober life.
Aftercare & alumni support: long-term recovery resources
We know that recovery is lifelong. That’s why we offer ongoing aftercare and alumni support for as long as you need it to help you sustain and build upon your recovery journey. Our program includes peer support, sober events, meetings, reunions, volunteer opportunities, and referrals to family therapy and clinicians.
Based on research from the National Center for Biotechnology Information, participation in continuing care programs can support long-term recovery outcomes
